Ingersoll Rand Zim Air (ZA) Series Balancers (Zimmerman) are the most common air balancer/control combination, designed for high-speed, precision handling of variable weight loads. Up/down movement is accomplished through the use of an ergonomically designed pendant with low-effort, color coded thumb levers. After positioning the load with the pendant control, the unit defaults into a balanced load condition that allows the operator up to 18 inches (457 mm) of travel to manually adjust the load for final positioning.
DURABILITY: Balancers feature all-steel housing, engineered plastic, aircraft grade wire rope and self-closing cast safety hook.
RELIABILITY: Features include precise positioning, a pre-lubricated piston chamber, intuitive speed control, and continuous duty operation.
SAFETY
Standard emergency cable retract brakes mean that if your load is accidentally lost, a spring-loaded centrifugal brake automatically stops the rapid upward cable travel.
If the air supply is ever interrupted, the unit will maintain the load in the suspended position.
The load being lifted can never exceed the unit’s maximum rated capacity at a given air pressure, providing intrinsic overload protection.
The optional Z-stop eliminates the down-drift of suspended loads within 6 inches (152 mm) if air supply is shut down.
PRODUCTIVITY: Gain flexibility, with ultra-low air consumption, clean oil free operation, and cable travels of up to 120 inches depending on model.
